Bayer Leverkusen coach Gerardo Seoane admits they face losing teenage striker Iker Bravo.

The former Barcelona prospect is the subject of major interest from Real Madrid.

Seoane says he'd like to keep Bravo, though the player appears determined to leave Bayer this summer.

He said, "Our idea is that he could actually always play for the U19s and train with us in order to move forward step by step.

"A possible solution is in the air. I would be happy if he stays there. But if the club and the player feel that another solution would be better for their development at that moment, they'll think about it."

There is talk of Bayer selling Bravo to Real Madrid, but insisting on a buy-back option.

Seoane added, "I don't think we're going to give him up fully."
